Training the Brain as a Runner
ฝัง

- Fitness does not lie. BUT, it does not hurt the running cause either to obtain a strong mental state in our training and racing. Patience and fortitude is frankly the tact I take when attempting to become a better runner, specifically between the ears. As I continue to dabble in mountain running and again someday in ultra running, I do look forward to the opportunity to test my mental limits. Today's run up Mount Bierstadt is one little step in the right direction for obtaining some more mental focus and toughness on race day at the Pikes Peak Ascent. Onward and Upward as we say around here!

Love the shorts!💚
Your content is top notch , I like the weighted vest idea will definitely try that in the future.
QD - absolutely. I seek out the hottest most humid weather or coldest windiest weather for my longest/fastest/toughest runs. Always run most when you least feel like it is a motto i stick by. That'll help keep the mental axe sharp.
LUKE 🙌🏼
Nice one
Love the video. Mental toughness is a big part of running. Sadly being mentally tough won’t get me through a shin splint injury I achieved at work today. Hoping to get it fixed before the cross country season starts this coming Monday. Realistically it probably won’t happen seeing as how the pain just keeps getting worse and I’m just laying here😫
So much for the 3 week taper!

QOD one thing I’ve noticed lately is when I’m say an hour or so into my running up some step hills, some times I say to myself “ My god you got to be joking me! This is hard! “ then as soon as I’ve said that a big drain of energy hits & I slow right down, so instead now I say, “ you’re doing good! Hills are good!” Hills are good!” & believe it or not the run comes a hell of a lot easier, awesome Seth way to go 👍
Hey Seth, I think it would be really interesting to see your opinion on doubling. If you do it yourself? the different types of runners who should be doing it? when to do it? is it bad? Think that would be cool to give your opinion on.
Earlier in the year I purposely went out and ran several miles in rainy, windy and cold conditions. Wouldn’t you know it, the Fargo Marathon I ran was in total rain and I felt better prepared for those conditions for sure almost loving them!
I am a big fan of mindfulness, and have been practicing for over a year. One useful thing I have learned is to spot the unhelpful thoughts (this is too hard, just give up, you’re no good at this) as just that - thoughts. They don’t reflect reality. So, I can go back to concentrating on my breath, and those thoughts will disappear. Use Headspace, Waking Up, Budhify etc. All really good meditation apps.
Keep up the good work everybody!!
👌
Hello Seth. Would you provide a link for the weighted vest? Thank you
I know it’s summer but my mental toughness comes in the winter in N Wisconsin running in below zero weather... way below zero... talk about pain. When summer comes around running gets much easier...
Everyday I wake up in Europe (Athens Greece) and there is always a fresh video of yours. It ‘s like an every morning gift to me! Thank you so much, Seth!
Great stuff here Seth! I think this is some of the best filming and editing you've done.
New to your channel. Really enjoying it! Love that you’re sporting the brown scapular! Don’t leave home without it! Godspeed
Killing it!!! Just started to get into this whole trails and running!!! Great channel. congrats on that win you notched.
You rock and thanks for being here, enjoy those trails
QD: Still a novice runner, but I’ve been running in 102+ heat most of the summer, first summer ever as a runner. Curious to see what, if any, benefits in the fall. At 50 and 196lbs, these have been real grinds, especially at 5+ miles.
I feel you. I'm a 48yo newbie with little fitness background. Most of my 5+ milers are walking fast and running combos. Keep it up and beat the heat!
they'll feel easy.
It’s been rough...like running in an oven. At times just finishing the run seems like a major accomplishment. Hoping the gains really show up in the fall.
Why not run early in the morning or in the late evening?
@@seatownfan Mainly schedule. I start work early and am off and ready for a run at 4pm. Waking up at 4-4:30am just isn't in my wheelhouse. Especially in the heat/humidity, I can't handle running after eating dinner. On the hot days, heat index doesn't drop much below 100 until 9pm and running wires me so messes with my sleep. Over the alternatives, I prefer the heat in the afternoon and I do run a highly shaded route except sometimes on shorter 3-4 mile runs.
BRAIN. QD: I’ve spent 13 years as a creative in the Asian ad industry. I guess all the mental and physical torture & abuse from all the craziness counts as mental training. I’d like to leave but don’t know what else I could do.
Interesting session and theory :)
The scenery is beautiful!
Always enjoy your vlogs, your 3 points of brain power are great. It’s a constant work to build the brain! Keep up the great work and am always looking forward to these. Thank you sir!
Amazing run! Your an absolute animal. Pure motivation bro. Training for my first marathon and man is it truly, truly brutal. Went from not running at all this March and just did 14 miles for the first time today.
For me ... without being too analytical, it's the many constant small tough challenges I can find, and that feeling of total focus as my brain clears. I get a sharp focus, 'fight instincts' take over from 'flight', and everything around me goes into slow motion as I meet the new targets.
Super Dope Intro , you made that look good. And great video on being honest about fitness not lying , the Brain is super important.
Thank you for being here.
I forget who said it but “Become a friend with pain and you’ll never be alone”. And yes, I too, use audio books for good stories and motivation on long runs and ultra training. Keep up the good work.

In owning my own contracting business I definitely developed mental toughness. Just overcoming tough physical work and long hours. When Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey there was a large portion on New Jersey without power. At the time I was living in Pa about 15 miles from the Jersey line. Working by myself I was installing large 480 3 phase generators. Getting up at 4am to start my drive with my bucket heading to Jersey from Pa. Before reaching Jersey I already was dispatched calls where to install generators. Then each night getting back home at 11pm and up again at 4am. Could not get a motel anyplace in Jersey since most rooms where full of displaced people. The worst part was going back around to disconnect the generators and rolling up the very heavy copper cables. At that point I was totally exhausted and my arms were killing me. But whether or not it is working or playing sports I believe mental toughness is almost as important as physical fitness. One of my sports heroes was Bobby Clark. There was a guy that had type one diabetes and played NHL hockey. He had an incredible deep well of strength and mental toughness.
Needed this today! Trying to start my own channel for running. This helps ❤️
Seth! Great question. I think as a PhD student I am always training my brain. With the help of your videos I found running helps with my writing. It gives me an opportunity to step away from the computer and think about how I can improve my project. I find the quality of work I am putting out improving as I run. :)
Brain: I am a novice (and slow) runner, still doing fairly low mileage (~25-30 miles per week). One of my favorite challenges is for the last mile of a long run, to run for my personal best mile pace.
Chris O yep I’ve been doing that in my runs to & have improved my race times by about 5-10min in the half marathon plus add some hill repeats in the last 3 weeks. Build up to the race helps to👍
QOD-I challenged myself this summer with a 24 hr. fast and 10 pull-ups and a 30,000 day to give me other things to focus on and work towards to sharpen me mentally along with my training plan. I also enjoy reading and podcast as well.
Can’t beat the uncut sounds of a runner 🏃👌
This video was particularly beautiful, uniquely enchanting.
Hey Seth, do you worry that you are arming your competitors by detailing your training?
Oliver Hayward yeah I was thinking the same, but in a way he’s strengthening himself by helping others, if you help others along the way the only way is up haha
What shorts are those? The neon green
Thank you!
Great video, Seth! QD: Peer pressure has helped me. I run with a running team (Dashing Whippets here in NYC) and by getting together 3-4 times a week for speed sessions and long runs I find that paces and distances that I probably wouldn't muster on my own, I can accomplish with the support of team mates. No doubt, the others I run with would say the same. I have learned to dig deeper as a result, since I've gained confidence in what I'm capable of, even if it seems daunting at first.
Great subject. Fitness doesn’t lie.
Always train the brain. I use those days where I am done or feel mentally exhausted and push harder. If I can get through a rough day, i can get through anything.
QOD: Being ex military has bode me so well in dealing with “uncomfortable” situations when training. The problem for me, at the age of 50, is to learn to listen to your body vs ignoring the pain and carrying on 🙋🏼♀️ onward and upward! Just love your videos Seth! Thank you so much from Australia 🇦🇺
I strongly believe the hard times during training prepare you for a race or anything, I also coach football and we over prepare our players to prepare them for worst case scenarios, so training between the ears is important!!
What happend to a Giveaway?
Hey Seth, which shoes would you recommend for the Pikes Peak Marathon? I wore the Hoka Torrents last year and felt while they were great for ascent portion, my legs were pretty beat by the time I was back at NoName until the finish resulting in lost time.
Love the video’s natural scenery
every monday, thursday and friday we do a workout/long run in the summer and i’m always doing them solo as the best guy on the team, so doing harder effort runs by myself definitely helps me build mental toughness.
Great camera work! QOD: I spent yesterday as an easy day. Went to the Park where eventually I will BQ. It’s a lil 4.5+ mile loop da loop that I WILL run 6x. I biked it with the kids and made a family time of it! It was great! The whole time I was studying the surfaces. The hills. The turns. The trees. The breeze from the water. The smells. The views. The sounds. The West Nile EEE mosquitoes. I was mentally preparing and taking notes in my head... thinking about where it would be easier and where I was gonna have to dig just a little deeper into my inner Hulkamaniac to get over the humps... I did a second lap after we did the first. I will go back again. I didn’t need to get off the bike to walk up any hills. They’re not that bad. I will accomplish this.
QD: Definitely - As Mike Tyson said - Everyone has a plan until they get punched. Got to punt yourself in difficult situations so when you are faced with true adversity you have something to fall back on. Seth you have to listen to/read any of David Goggins stuff?
YES! Love this Tyson quote
Great video Seth
Hi Seth, try to get pain by a hard longer bike ride. This is for me a good stimulus for the brain and fitness as well in addition to running. Cheers!
Can't wait to hand you your medal at the top of Pikes!
Hey!!! You found your GoPro! Maybe you can upload your race highlights from this past weekend! 😉
What a coincidence! Most recently during my Sunday long runs, I have been listening to “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand. It’s about Louie Zamperini. Thanks for the great videos and insight!
1st wooohooo Seth the best, just got yesterday my Saucony Madriver hoping to get some miles this weekend.
Don’t Know if I’m proud of it or not as a European, but after spending many year in the states I put some patriotic music in my ears and start fighting. I just won’t give up with that in my ears. 👌🏻
Awesome!
Almost every day with runs in 100+ heat index all summer long. Workouts, long runs, all in!
BRAIN QD: My life has been and continues to be my training grounds for mental toughness
Hey I’m wearing that running wearhouse shirt right now lol
do it without music. it makes it a lot worse and with callousing
Hey Seth you should read "How bad do you want it" by Mathew Fitzgerald
Brain: yes I do. I think it's vital in middle distances but even more so as you get up there. It's something I've always struggled with but maybe didn't even know that was the problem until recently and I think it's going to be insane in the matter of how I compete and how I perform over the next 3 racing seasons.
My birthday is tomorrow!!!
Continually training to use the uncomfortable and painful feelings, channeling them into forward energy!
I have my money on SJD for the W!
I wear a 15kg weighted vest for my 2 long runs a week and man what a difference it's made, dropped 3 minutes off my 5km time in 4 months
I learned new from you SETH....I should train my brain to tolerate pain while running....thanks always and God Bless you and yours!🙏
Elizabeth Macabebe savor that pain! Can only enjoy it for a bit. Less than a hour a day most the time.
9 miles wow
I try my best to practise stoicism and like things like the daily stoic and that's my mental approach generally to try and put stuff in perspective.
If you need you engage the inner animal then David Goggins on Instagram and his audiobook are TNT way to go.
QD: Ofcourse. Embrace the pain n enjoy the suffering.
Its workout Wednesday with the team my dudes
Don't train the brain as you did in this vlog but I do use mantras to let myself know I can do what I'm doing
How do you breath when running? Any tips and techniques for beginners?
BRAIN. Seth I’ll be posting Twitter updates during my Fat Dog 120 attempt the next few days with my Garmin InReach device. @familymandan
Hey Seth, do you do additional strength work after these runs? If so how many days a week?
I go to the gym twice a week and also plyometrics, but not necessarily after a run like this one.
Seth why on earth would you wear a 20lb vest up a 14,000 ft mountain?
you can only get lucky in running when others DNF :)
You were litterally stopping and putting your camera perfectly every time you have to get a shot... so you had so many stops...
